Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-45 *SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) *SRS: This stands for supplemental re- straint system. This name is used be- cause the airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts. Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seatbelt(s) by the driver and front passenger when any of the SRS frontal, side and curtain airbags deploy. (cid:132) Your vehicle’s SRS configu- ration The driver’s seat, the front passenger’s seat, and the outboard seats of the rear/ second seating row of your vehicle are each provided with, in addition to a lap/ shoulder belt, one or more airbags as fol- lows: (cid:121) Frontal airbag (one each for driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat) (cid:121) Side airbag (one each for driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat) (cid:121) Curtain airbag (one each for the out- board sides of cabin, extending from driv- er’s and front passenger’s seats to rear/ second seating row) – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 46 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-46 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the primary protec- tion provided by the seatbelt. The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For operation instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner, see the “Front seatbelt pre- tensioners” section in this chapter. (cid:121) To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driv- er and all passengers in the vehi- cle should always wear seatbelts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only as a supplement to the primary protec- tion provided by the seatbelt. It does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. In combination with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined protection in case of a serious accident. Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a crash even when the ve- hicle has the SRS airbag. For instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system, see the “Seatbelts” section in this chapter. (cid:121) Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Because the SRS airbag deploys with con- siderable speed – faster than the blink of an eye – and force to pro- tect in high speed collisions, the force of an airbag can injure an occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in prop- er position such as one thrown forward during pre-accident brak- ing. Even when properly positioned, there remains a possibility that an occupant may suffer minor injury such as abrasions and bruises to the face or arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force. (cid:121) The SRS airbags deploy with con- siderable speed and force. Occu- pants who are out of proper posi- tion when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practi- cal while still maintaining full ve- hicle control and the front passen- ger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat. (cid:121) Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or be- tween you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those ob- jects could interfere with its prop- er operation and could be pro- pelled inside the vehicle and cause injury. A3120BE-B.book 47 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 Consequently, we strongly rec- ommend that ALL children (in- cluding those in child seats and those that have outgrown child re- straint devices) sit in a REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for the child’s age, height and weight. Always secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including for- ward facing child seats) in one of the rear seating positions recom- mended in this owner’s manual. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating posi- tions than in the front seating po- sitions. For instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint sys- tem, see the “Child restraint sys- tems” section in this chapter. Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-47 (cid:121) NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG. (cid:121) Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger’s seat, or never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS air- bag deploys with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child. (cid:121) When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released. This smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trou- ble. If you or your passengers have breathing problems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly. (cid:121) A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get burned if they come into direct contact with the hot gas. – CONTINUED – 100350 (cid:121) Put children aged 12 and under in a rear seat properly restrained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or improperly re- strained. Because children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from de- ployment is greater.

The Subaru advanced frontal airbag sys- tem automatically determines the deploy- ment force of the driver’s SRS frontal air- bag at the time of deployment as well as whether or not to activate the front pas- senger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if activat- ed, the deployment force of the SRS fron- tal airbag at the time of deployment. Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and front passenger’s sun visors beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag at- tached to the glove box lid beginning with the phrase “Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you carefully read the instructions on the warning labels and tag. Always wear your seatbelt. The Subaru advanced frontal airbag system is a sup- plemental restraint system and must be used in combination with a seatbelt. All occupants should wear a seatbelt or be seated in an appropriate child restraint system. The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark. In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy and supplement the seatbelts by reducing the impact on the driver’s and front passenger’s head and chest. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG. 100261 100126 Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger’s seat.

A3120BE-B.book 51 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-51 It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag con- tacts an occupant not in proper po- sition such as one thrown toward the front of the vehicle during pre- accident braking. 100125 100155 Never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable force and can in- jure or even kill the child. The SRS airbag deploys with con- siderable speed and force. Occu- pants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Be- cause the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possi- ble and sit upright and well back in the seat. 100531 Do not put any objects over the steering wheel pad and dashboard. If the SRS frontal airbag deploys, those objects could interfere with its proper operation and could be pro- pelled inside the vehicle and cause injury. – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 52 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-52 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags driver’s seat. Whether or not the driver is wearing the seatbelt is monitored by the seatbelt buck- le switch. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the seatbelt buckle switch and/or the seat position sensor to malfunction, preventing the Subaru ad- vanced frontal airbag system from func- tioning correctly or causing the system to fail. (cid:121) Do not place articles/metal objects or in- stall any accessory other than a genuine SUBARU accessory under the driver’s seat. Do not allow the rear seat occupant to kick the driver’s seat or push up its bot- tom surface with his/her feet. (cid:121) Do not place a magnet near the seatbelt buckle or under the driver’s seat. If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or the driver’s seat position sensor have failed, the SRS airbag system warning light will il- luminate. Although the driver’s SRS fron- tal airbag can deploy regardless of the backward-forward adjustment of the driv- er’s seat position even when the warning light is on, have the system inspected by your SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS airbag system warning light comes on. NOTE The driver’s SRS side airbag, SRS cur- tain airbag and seatbelt pretensioner are not controlled by the Subaru ad- vanced frontal airbag system. (cid:84) Front passenger’s SRS frontal air- bag The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator op- erates in different ways depending on the severity of impact. The total load on the seat is monitored by the occupant detection system’s weight sensor located under the seat. The system has another sensor that mon- itors the tension of the front passenger seatbelt. Using the total seat load and seatbelt tension data from the sensors, the occupant detection system deter- mines whether the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should or should not be in- flated. The occupant detection system may not inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys. This is normal. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Subaru ad- vanced frontal airbag system from func- tioning correctly or cause the system to fail. 100532 Do not attach accessories to the windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir- ror over the rear view mirror. If the SRS airbag deploys, those objects could become projectiles that could seriously injure vehicle occupants. (cid:84) Driver’s SRS frontal airbag The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact, backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position and whether or not he/she is wearing the seatbelt. The backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position is monitored by the driver’s seat position sensor under the A3120BE-B.book 53 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 (cid:121) Do not apply any strong impact to the front passenger’s seat such as by kicking. (cid:121) Do not spill liquid on the front passen- ger’s seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off im- mediately. (cid:121) Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger’s seat. (cid:121) Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a genuine SUBARU accessory under the front pas- senger’s seat. (cid:121) Do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under the front passenger’s seat. (cid:121) The front passenger’s seat must not be used with the head restraint removed. (cid:121) Do not leave any article including a child restraint system on the front passenger’s seat or the seatbelt tongue and buckle en- gaged when you leave your vehicle. (cid:121) Do not place a magnet near the seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt retractor. If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front passenger’s occupant detection system have failed, the SRS airbag system warn- ing light will illuminate. Have the system inspected by your SUBARU dealer imme- diately if the SRS airbag system warning light comes on. If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper function of the Sub- aru advanced frontal airbag system. Have your vehicle inspected at your SUBARU dealer. NOTE The front passenger’s SRS side airbag, SRS curtain airbag and seatbelt preten- sioner are not controlled by the Subaru advanced frontal airbag system. (cid:84) Passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators PASS AIR BAG 100533 : Front passenger’s frontal airbag : Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator OFF indicator The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. The indicators are located in the center portion of the instrument panel. Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-53 When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, both the ON and OFF indi- cators illuminate for 6 seconds during which time the system is checked. Follow- ing the system check, both indicators ex- tinguish for 2 seconds. After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag determined by the Subaru advanced frontal airbag system monitor- ing. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated, the passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF indicator will remain extinguished. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is deactivated, the passenger’s frontal air- bag ON indicator will remain extinguished while the OFF indicator will illuminate. With the ignition switch turned to the “ON” position, if both the ON and OFF indica- tors remain lit or extinguished simulta- neously even after the system check peri- od, the system is faulty.

(cid:121) The seat is equipped with a rearward facing child restraint system and an infant is restrained with it. (See WARNING that follows.) (cid:121) The seat is equipped with a forward fac- ing child restraint system and a small child is restrained with it. (See WARNING that follows.) (cid:121) The seat is equipped with a booster seat and a small child is in the booster seat. (See WARNING that follows.) (cid:121) The seat is relieved of the occupant load for a time exceeding the predeter- mined monitoring time period. (cid:121) The seat is occupied by a child who has outgrown a child restraint system (See WARNING that follows.) or by a small adult. (cid:121) The front passenger’s occupant detec- tion system is faulty. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON- TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it in one of the rear seating positions recommended in this owner’s manual in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly recom- mended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be in- stalled in one of the rear seating po- sitions recommended in this own- er’s manual, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in a REAR seat. This is because children sit- ting in the front passenger’s seat may be killed or severely injured should the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for children. When the front passenger’s seat is occu- pied by a child, observe the following pre- cautions. Failure to do so may increase the load on the front passenger’s seat, ac- tivating the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag even though that seat is occupied by a child. (cid:121) Do not place any article on the seat oth- er than the child occupant and a child re- straint system. (cid:121) Do not place more than one child on the seat. (cid:121) Do not install any accessory such as a table or TV onto the seatback. (cid:121) Do not store a heavy load in the seat- back pocket. (cid:121) Do not allow the rear/second-row seat occupant to place his/her hands or legs on the front passenger’s seatback, or allow him/her to pull the seatback. (cid:86) If the front passenger’s frontal air- bag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator extinguishes even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat) Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” posi- tion if the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indi- cator extinguishes even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat). Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By refer- ring to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well as the child re- straint system installation procedures in the “Child restraint systems” section in this chapter, correctly install the child restraint 1 A3120BE-B.book 55 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 system. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and make sure that the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator goes out and the OFF indicator comes on. If still the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator extinguishes, take the following actions. (cid:121) Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the child restraint system and the child occupant. (cid:121) Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback pocket. If the ON indicator still illuminates while the OFF indicator extinguishes after tak- ing relevant corrective actions described above, relocate the child restraint system to one of the rear seating positions recom- mended in this owner’s manual and imme- diately contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection. NOTE When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is seated in the front passenger’s seat, the Subaru advanced frontal airbag system may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depending on the occupant’s seating posture. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated (the ON indi- cator illuminates while the OFF indica- tor extinguishes), take the following actions. (cid:121) Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the occupant. (cid:121) Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback pocket. If the ON indicator still illuminates while the OFF indicator extinguishes despite the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the child/ small adult in the rear seat and immedi- ately contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspection, it is rec- ommended that on subsequent trips the child/small adult always take the rear seat. Children who have outgrown a child re- straint system should always wear the seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag is deactivated or activated. (cid:84) Conditions in which front passen- ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will be activated for deployment upon im- pact when any of the following conditions is met regarding the front passenger’s seat. (cid:121) When the seat is occupied by an adult. Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-55 (cid:121) When a heavy article is placed on the seat. When the front passenger’s seat is occu- pied by an adult, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may lessen the load on the front passenger’s seat, de- activating the front passenger’s SRS fron- tal airbag despite the fact that the seat is occupied by an adult. (cid:121) Do not allow the rear seat occupant to lift the front passenger’s seat cushion us- ing his/her feet. (cid:121) Do not place any article under the front passenger’s seat, or squeeze any article from behind and under the seat. This may lift the seat cushion.

Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. If the OFF in- dicator remains illuminated while the ON indicator remains extinguished, take the following actions. (cid:121) Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” po- sition. (cid:121) Ensure that there are no articles, books, shoes, or other objects trapped under the seat, at the rear of the seat, or on the side of the seat. (cid:121) Next, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and wait 6 seconds to allow the system to complete self-checking. Follow- ing the system check, both indicators ex- tinguish for 2 seconds. Now, the ON indi- cator should illuminate while the OFF indi- cator remains extinguished. If the OFF indicator still illuminates while the ON indicator remains extinguished, ask the occupant to move to the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection.

The time required from detect- ing impact to the deflation of the SRS air- bag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye. Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys and the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy, the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt pretensioners operate at the same time. Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a non-accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate quickly, not obscuring vision and will not interfere with the driver’s abil- ity to maintain control of the vehicle. When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These oc- currences are a normal result of the de- ployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle. tem is designed to determine the activa- tion or deactivation condition of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depend- ing on the total load on the front passen- ger’s seat monitored by the front passen- ger’s occupant detection system weight sensor. For this reason, only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag may deploy in the event of a collision, but this does not mean failure of the system. If the front sub sensors located on both sides of the radiator panel and the impact sensors in the airbag control module de- tect a predetermined amount of force dur- ing a frontal collision, the control module sends signals to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s module or both driver’s and front passenger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to inflate the SRS frontal air- bag(s). The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags use dual stage infla- tors. The two inflators of each airbag are triggered either sequentially or simulta- neously, depending on the severity of im- pact, backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position and fastening/unfas- tening of the seatbelt in the case of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag and depending on the severity of impact and the total load on the seat in the case of the front passen- ger’s SRS frontal airbag. After deploy- ment, the SRS airbag immediately starts Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-57 Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steering wheel and dashboard with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a re- sult of deployment. The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are de- signed to deploy in the event of an acci- dent involving a moderate to severe fron- tal collision. It is basically not designed to deploy in lesser frontal impacts because the necessary protection can be achieved by the seatbelt alone. Also, they are basi- cally not designed to deploy in side or rear impacts or in rollover accidents because deployment of only the driver’s SRS fron- tal airbag or both driver’s and front pas- senger’s SRS frontal airbags would not help the occupant in those situations. The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags are designed to function on a one- time-only basis. SRS airbag deployment depends on the level of force experienced in the passen- ger compartment during a collision. That level differs from one type of collision to another, and it may have no bearing on – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 58 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-58 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags the visible damage done to the vehicle it- self.

Example: In the case of a double collision, first with another vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immediate succession, once either or both of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are ac- tivated on the first impact, it/they will not be activated on the second impact. (cid:132) SRS side airbag and SRS cur- tain airbag The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front seat seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label. In a moderate to severe side impact colli- sion, the SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the door panel and supple- ments the seatbelt by reducing the impact to the occupant’s chest and waist. The SRS side airbag operates only for front seat occupants. The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side (be- tween the front pillar and a point over the rear seat). An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is lo- cated at the top of each center pillar. In a moderate to severe side impact colli- sion, the SRS curtain airbag on the im- pacted side of the vehicle deploys be- tween the occupant and the side window and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant's head. In a rollover, SRS curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle deploy between the occupant and the side window and sup- plement the seatbelt by reducing the im- pact to the occupant’s head. In a 7-seater model vehicle, the SRS cur- tain airbag does not operate for third-row seat occupants. The SRS side airbag and SRS cur- tain airbag are designed as only a supplement to the primary protec- tion provided by the seatbelt. They do not do away with the need to fas- ten seatbelts. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid in- juries that can result when an occu- pant is not seated in a proper up- right position. 100164 A3120BE-B.book 61 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-61 (cid:121) Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to either front door. The SRS side airbag is stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and it provides protection by deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side impact collision. However, the force of SRS side airbag de- ployment may cause injuries if your head or other parts of the body are too close to the SRS side airbag. (cid:121) Since your vehicle is equipped with SRS curtain airbags, do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the front or rear door on either side. Also, do not put your head, arms and hands out of the win- dow. The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side (between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat), and it provides protection by deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side impact or a rollover. How- ever, the force of its deployment may cause injuries if your head is too close to it. 100165 100166 Do not rest your arm on either front door or its internal trim.

In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS side airbag deployment could injure the child seriously because his/her head or arms or other parts of the body are too close to the SRS side air- bag. is also Since your vehicle equipped with a front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag, children aged 12 and under should be placed in a rear seat anyway and should be properly restrained at all times. (cid:121) Never allow a child to kneel on any passenger’s seat facing the side window or put their head, arms and hands out of the window. In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS curtain airbag deploy- ment could injure the child seri- ously because his/her head is close to the SRS curtain airbag. (cid:121) Do not attach a hands-free micro- phone or any other accessory to a front pillar, a center pillar, a rear pillar, the windshield, a side win- dow, an assist grip, or any other cabin surface that would be near a deploying SRS curtain airbag. A hands-free microphone or other accessory location could be propelled through the cabin with great force by the cur- tain airbag, or it could prevent correct deployment of the curtain airbag. In either case, the result could be serious injuries. in such a 600516 100168 (cid:121) Do not attach accessories to the door trim or near either SRS side airbags and do not place objects near the SRS side airbags. In the event of the SRS side airbag de- ployment, they could be propelled dangerously toward the vehicle’s occupants and cause injuries. A3120BE-B.book 63 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 Do not hang coat hangers or other hard or pointed objects on the coat hooks. If such items were hanging on the coat hooks during deploy- ment of the SRS curtain airbags, they could cause serious injuries by coming off the coat hooks and being thrown through the cabin or by pre- venting deployment of the curtain airbags. Before hanging clothing on the coat hooks, make sure there are no sharp objects in the pockets. Hang cloth- ing directly on the coat hooks with- out using hangers. Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either front seatback and do not attach la- bels or stickers to the front seat sur- face on or near the SRS side airbag. They could prevent proper deploy- ment of the SRS side airbag, reduc- ing protection available to the front seat’s occupant. (cid:84) Operation 100281 The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. 100280 The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags de- Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-63 ploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor. There- fore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel. An impact sensor is located in each of the left and right center pillars and rear wheel houses. In addition, the rollover sensor is inside the airbag control module. If a cen- ter pillar impact sensor senses an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain air- bag on the impacted side to inflate regard- less of whether the rear wheel house im- pact sensor on the same side senses an impact. If it is a rear wheel house impact sensor alone that senses a sufficiently strong impact force, the control module causes only the SRS curtain airbag on the impacted side to inflate. If the rollover sen- sor detects rollover of the vehicle, the con- trol module inflates the curtain airbag. Af- ter deployment, the SRS side airbag im- mediately starts to deflate. The time re- quired from detection of an impact to de- flation of an SRS side airbag after deploy- ment is shorter than the blink of an eye. The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 64 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-64 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags for a while following deployment then slowly deflates. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag deploy even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied. When the SRS side airbag and SRS cur- tain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud in- flation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrenc- es are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the front seat seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the compo- nents can be very hot as a result of deployment. After deployment, do not touch any part of the SRS curtain airbag sys- tem (from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over the rear seat). Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag are designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to se- vere side impact collision. Also, in the case of a rollover, the SRS curtain airbag deploys. They are basically not designed to deploy in a lesser side impact. Also, they are basically not designed to deploy in frontal or rear impacts because SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag de- ployment would not help the occupant in those situations. Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are designed to function on a one- time-only basis. SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment depend on the level of force experienced in the passenger compart- ment during a side impact collision. That level differs from one type of collision to another, and it may have no bearing on the visible damage done to the vehicle it- self. Also, the SRS curtain airbag deploys depending on the vehicle’s position and inclination at the time of the rollover. (cid:86) Example of the type of accident in which the SRS side airbag will most likely deploy.

A3120BE-B.book 3 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 Immobilizer The immobilizer system is designed to prevent an unauthorized person from starting the engine. Only keys registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can be used to operate your vehicle. Even if an unregistered key fits into the ignition switch and can be turned to the “START” position, the engine will automatically stop after several seconds. Each immobilizer key contains a tran- sponder in which the key’s ID code is stored. When a key is inserted into the ig- nition switch and turned to the “ON” posi- tion, the transponder transmits the key’s ID code to the immobilizer system’s re- ceiver. If the transmitted ID code matches the ID code registered in the immobilizer system, the system allows the engine to be started. Since the ID code is transmit- ted and acted upon almost instantly, the immobilizer system does not impede nor- mal starting of the engine. If the engine fails to start, pull out the key once before trying again. (Refer to the “Ig- nition switch” section [chapter 3].) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of In- dustry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer- ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including in- terference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not express- ly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

If In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator light comes on. NOTE Even if the security indicator light flashes irregularly or its fuse blows (the light does not flash if its fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will function normally. (cid:132) Key replacement Your key number plate and security ID plate will be required if you ever need a re- placement key made. Any new key must be registered for use with your vehicle’s immobilizer system before it can be used. Up to four keys can be registered for use with one vehicle. For security, all the keys registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system will have their ID codes erased and re-regis- tered when a new key is made. Therefore, all of your vehicle’s keys must be present- ed when a new key is registered. Any key that is not re-registered when a new key is made cannot be used after the other keys are re-registered.
